Went with Telcel in the end. Best coverage, cheapest option, just a lot of spam calls and texts. you unsubscribe from some and block a lot of it though.

Just moved to CDMX, any tips? Meet-ups, hidden gems etc

Hey Dan! I've lived here since 2022 and I love it. My caveat is I like daytime social events more than night (IOW, I don't have rave clubs to recommend). My favorite gem is Huerto Roma Verde. The Saturday/Sunday mercado there usually has a lot crazy cool things for sale (more so than most any mercado I've seen). Also, about twice a month they have ecstatic dance in the geodesic dome (one that starts in the morning, and one that starts in the evening). I also recently learned they occasionally host temazcal ceremonies (think sweat-lodge).
Anyway, I myself decided its time to join both Mexica dancing and a drum circle...I'm still looking for these.

Great recommendations, thanks.

Hey all 😊 anyone hanging around Oaxaca, the coast city or mountains?

Am on the coast until July-ish

Nice, I'll be heading down in the next few weeks. Know some cool events going down?

Hey all, I’ll be in Rome Norte for the next 2 weeks if anyone wants to meet!

Not off the top of my head. Santa Semana just finished up this weekend which was the big thing this time of year.

There is a site called pxm unlocked that can provide some clues, as well as other resources that I keep getting muted for mentioning 😂

Exclusive cool kids club hey 😂 no worries! I'll prob be heading down to the coast in a couple of weeks. Lmk if u keen for a drink.

Topics of interest:
Crypto
Plant medicine
General shit talking
✌️

They don't like competition around here apparently 😂. I tried a variety of ways to phrase it but banned every time 😅

Is pretty slow on the coast apart from regular club nights and smaller community focused events. Haven't seen much in the way of crypto at all, but there is a pretty solid plant medicine community.

Keep me posted when you make it down. It sounds like we'd have some things to chat about and I can link you to more resources. 👊

That'd be awesome! Thanks! I'm down to make a community out there so anyone you can connect me with in puerto, mazunte, zipo, or even here in Oaxaca is always welcome. Will keep you in the loop, i appreciate it 👏

I recently asked someone about Jamaica and they indicated that it was the same as any other country in terms of safety.. it's safe unless you go to the obviously bad areas which you'd never randomly wonder into anyway.

Hi everybody, does somebody knows a coliving in CDMX?

Triver

Thanks I will check it

Anyone in Guadalajara

Hello, anyone in Puebla?

Who lived in San Cristobal ? Pros and cons?

I've just visited for a few weeks

You mean downtown is noisy?

I'd live there if it weren't for the water issues

Just wash veggies/ fruits and cook with bottled water

no, there were constant explosions

Is anyone in Queretaro rn?

Never go there in December for that reason. All night every night

I was in August

Ey, can someone confirm the location for Taco night social today?

Omw

Me too

Anyone already here?

Look for a guy with a black jacket and a flowers shirt

Are you upstairs?

table 18

Can you recommend or warn me of colivings in Mexico city, Oaxaca and Merida ?🙏🙏

I have never been but heard great things about Outsite's coliving. I will be there next month

Been there several times, used to live in Mexico for 8 years. Let me know if you have any questions.

Can anyone recommend a good nomad spot with surf and a good cowork?

Thinking of spending three months September - December this year out there

A friend from Argentina stood in Los Cabos for a few weeks, no complain about internet speed and there are some coworking spaces

You will very likely get a gastro related infection (due to the water). It’s an amazing place besides this

Hello! Me and my girlfriend are trying to figure out how to handle Visas so that we can stay in Mexico for an extended period of time and work on our startups. We are US citizens and we would like to live in Mexico for at least 6 months while we build our businesses. We're trying to get temporary residency visas. Since we don't have secured remote jobs we don't meet the ongoing and income requirements but we do meet the investment income requirements. I'm curious what others have done. Are people just going on tourist visas?

US citizens can stay for 180 days w/o visa + no wait time for clock reset...

Which are the best areas for 4-6 months to knuckle down and work on your start up ? I was looking at tulum or playa del Carmen but keen to hear other input 😁

If you are looking for beach, I have no input. I can only speak for Mexico City (CDMX). In CDMX, I suggest colonia "La Condesa" or Roma.

you may like san jose del cabo, but my reqs are few when grinding

I love the beach for when I take. Break get some air , walk etc -thanks 😁

Probably PDC

From what we have read it's technically illegal to make money online while there on a tourist visa. However it seems enforcement of this is low. Is this what other nomads are doing?

I already had a contract when I moved to Mexico, obtaining my residential visa. However, I think the claim that you cannot work in Mexico w/o a residential visa (i.e. only a tourist visa) is incorrect without qualification. Specifically, you are likely not allowed to have income from a Mexican source while on a tourist visa. If, however, you have income from elsewhere (i.e. online work from a U.S. based company) then you should be fine.
As for staying more than six months...
1) Normally the process of obtaining a residential visa must begin in the U.S., but visiting a Mexican consulate (and typically you make an appointment with them, for which you must wait 3 months). They will expect a lot of paperwork from you.
2) If meanwhile you have only a tourist visa, you can fly back to the U.S. for a couple days - then return to Mexico - to cause your tourist visa duration to be reset back to zero.

When I got my residency through regularization, immigration asked if I was working and where the company was based. They had no issues and mostly seemed concerned I could support myself.

del cabo has beaches. less touristy than cabo san lucas. would also look into cozumel

If anyone was planning on going to the coast of Oaxaca anytime soon its probably a good idea to change plans. Sounds like they will be rebuilding for quite some time after tonights hurricane.

How bad did u guys get hit in puerto?

Sounds like between Barra 2 and Zicatela is in OK shape so far with no deaths. Still waiting for more info as its mostly just scattered reports coming through. I had an appointment out of town so missed this one.
